PhD within Power System & regional PV modelling

The Departments of Solar Power Systems and Energy System Analysis at the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) have a vacant PhD research fellowship focused on modelling how increasing photovoltaic (PV) generation affects Norwegian power grids. The position is part of the KSP project Solvar and the Norwegian PV Research Centre (FME SOLAR) and combines regional PV production modelling with power system analysis to support safe and cost-effective integration of solar power. The Departments of Solar Power Systems and Energy System Analysis at IFE conduct research on PV systems analysis (including performance and forecasting of PV plants), and energy system modelling (including techno-economic modelling and power flow analysis). The candidate will be supervised by a team of researchers from IFE and the University of Oslo with strong competence in the generation and distribution of electricity. The PhD will be affiliated with the Department of Technology Systems at the University of Oslo. T…
